Union with Jamaica, Etc. Apropos of the scheme for admitting the West Indians intu our pale face confederacy, the London Canadian Gazette remarks:— The proposal that Jamaica, the Leeward Islands and other of the West India colonies should enter the Dominion of Canada has been further discussed with some energy in the public press. The letter of Mr. Henry Berkeley to the Times putting the case of the Leeward Islands has been met by a rejoinder from the Chairman of the British Sugar Refinery Committe, Mr. James Duncan, and others. Mr. Duncan thought the proposal could not lead to any efficacious result unless Canada were to give some exceptional fiscal advant- age to the West India Islands such as the United States give to the Sandwich Islands. Mr. Berkeley rejoins that he considered it generally understood that the entrance of the West India Colonies, as an integra! portion of the Canadian Dominion, wou'd ipso facto insure for those Colonies the

admission of West India sugars into Canadian markets duty free. Another

writer objects that this old ‘‘cut-and-dried remedy” is impossible for all the West India Colonies.. This statement he bases upon the calculation that as the Dominion contains only five million inhabitants, and they constme about 70,000 tons of sugar in the year, 30,000 of which come from the West Indies, and as the total production of the West Indies is 400,000 tons, to adopt this remedy would be to shrink the West Indian sugar industry to one-tenth its present proportion. To this Mr. Berkeley fairly replies that ‘*Vendex’’ for- gets the rapidity with which the popula- tion of Canada ‘is increasing, and that he over-estimates the output of the West India colonies, which is about 150,000, not 400,000 tons. Then again, Mr. Berkeley argues, it does not at ali follow that a diminution of the West Indian sugar in- dustry to one-tenth weuld be a necessary sequel to the entry into the Dominion, for the markets of the world would still be open, a8 they are now, and to these mark- ets any surplus output would go until the Canadian demand equalled the supply which at the present rate of increase would not be long deferred. Mr. Berkeley might have gone further, and pointed out that, as a portion of the Dominion of Canada, the West India Islands would be in a far more favorable position to contract fiscal arrange- ments with other countries for their surplus supplies than they now are as an isolated and independent colony.

There can be no doubt from the forego- ing that the Solicitor-General of the Lee- ward Islands has effectually disposed of the objections as yet raised to the suggested remedy for the West Indian sugar trade de- pression, and that, so far as this phase of the question is concerned, the West Indian representatives have fairly made out their case. While, however, the advantages to be derived by the West India Colonies from an entry into the Caradian confeder- ation may be undoubted, the _ bear- ings of the other side of the account may not be so apparent. To the general observer there will at once arise difficulties of asomewhat peculiar and embarrassing nature. In British North America the colonies confederated as the Dominion of Canada are of a corresponding nature from Atlantic to Pacific. Their climate, their ways, their characteristics, their trade con- nections are practically the same, and they together form a heterogenous whole. But in Jamaica and the other West Indian pos-

sessions of the British Crown, the conditions of life are entirely dif- ferent. In the place of the nor-

thern air of Canada, we find a_ tropical climate, a mixed white and negro popula- tion, different trade connections, and char- acteristics entirely at variance with those of Canada. Then, again, Canada is as it were a compact whole joined together by one system of railway; Jamaica is so situated as to render almost impossible the intimate connection and constant communication essential to the true federation of any countries. These difficulties may or may not be insurmountable; time alone can show. It may be that in coming to ine determination to which we are assured the West Indian colonists have arrived —viz., that the entrance into the Dominion of Canada is highly desirable from their standpoint—they have also fully considered the practicability of the pro- posal and the possibilities of its complete success. The whole question is now, we understand, about to be submitted by the representatives of the Jamaica Privy Coun- cil, as well as of the other West Indian local authorities, to the Canadian Govern- ment. And we may be quite certain that when it is thus submitted, a matter of so great possible importance to Canada as well as to the West Indies will receive the care- ful consideration of the Canadian Govern- ment,

Grit Manceuvering.

The following from the Toronto Mail, reveals an eminently characteristic little piece of Grit manceuvering: ‘‘Mr Mowat is said to have sailed from England on August 28th. He should therefore be in Toronto by the &th or 9th of this month, But his friends have arranged that he shall not put in an appearance until a week later, when the exhibition will be in full swing. The object of this arrangement is to convey the false impression that the people visiting Toronto and attending the fair, are here for the purpose of worshipping the brazen image which the chairman of the Mowat Demonstration Committee is setting up. Mr. Mowat will lay over at Suspen- sion Bridge, until the exhibition has drawn a crowd, and then he will step inand pro- claim that the people have assembled to welcome him.”

Italy is lavishing millions upon ironclad ships. Two of these, when fully equipped for service, represent an expendiiure of $4,800,000 each, and two more whpse keels are laid are expected to cost 84,400,-

The Massachusetts bureau of statistics states that the chance of a railway passen- ger being killed by accident had diminished from 1 in 5,026,281 ia 1868 to 1 in 20,927,- 034 in 1883. The danger of being killed by lightning in the Bay State is now greater than by railway accident.

The magnitude of the money order busi- ness between this country and England, exclusive of the remainder of Europe, is shown by the fact that the Postmaster- Jeneral is required to transmit weekly to Eayland a sum of money averaging $75,000 in payment of the balance against the United States. This sum represents the excess of money orders sold in this country payable in England, over the sales in that country of money orders payable in the United States.

A young Englishman, named Talbot, who claims to be a son of a noble family in the mother country, has been for some six weeks past boarding in a Chaudiere, Ut- tawa, hotel and doing the grand on credit, on the strength of certain remittances which he is expecting every mail. On Monday he showed the proprietor an alleged cablegram stating that £300 sty. had been forwarded to him. This put the honiface entirely at his ease, and the next day the young man was missing and has not since been seen in Ottawa.

The London daily journals have been shamefully hoaxed by some wicked wag. They published a long account of the splendid sport which had been obtained in Leicester. The bag amounted to 696 brace of grouse! The sportsmen, ‘‘who sallied forth tothe moors before sunrise,’ were Lord Overstone, the Hon. and Rev. Sir William Bellamy, Sir William Best, and Major George Knox. There is no Lord Overstone in existence, and the ordinary books of reference do not give any informa- tion as to the other gueste. Pesides, no one ever heard of either moors or grouse in Leicestershire !

The relations of the railway system of the United Kingdom to the labor market are shown by a parliamentary return recently issued. According to the statistics which it contains, there were at the end of March 367,793 persons in the service of the railway companies in various capacities. Of this number 312,047 were set down to England and Wales, 38,408 to Scot'and, and 17,338 tolreland. With their faniilies, these officials represent more than a million probably of the population of the country. Nor do the figures quoted represent the maxi- mum, as for some time before the report was made the companies had been economizing, and it is thought that in prosperous times the number is considerably larger.

Among the exiles in. Eastern Siberia the following custom prevails : If a man wishes tu get married he applies to the Governor, who forthwith selects one of the female prisoners, with whom the candidate for holy matrimony is expected to ‘‘keep com- pany” for two or three days. At the con- clusion of this term) the male party declares to the Governor that the lady selected is not to his mind, he receives twenty-five blows with a stick, and another bride is chosen for him—and so on. The ‘same course is adopted with the female | prisoners who are in search for husbands. | These matches are termed ‘‘oflicial mar-

riages,” or the ‘Governor's marriages,” ,and are not followed by auy religious cer»

mony,
